The Department of Language and Literature main office located in Pellegrino Hall 314 is being painted. Its walls used to be gray blue, but not any more. Now, those walls are being painted with the TAMIU beige tone. The new tone of paint is enhancing the office environment completely by providing a warm atmosphere. The person responsible for this transformation is Mr. Jose Saavedra.
Saavedra has been working in PH314 since Monday of this week. He possesses 35 years of painting experience. Saavedra loves his work, because he has the power to place smiles on people’s faces, “a person’s live changes completely with a fresh hand of paint and a new color. People feel energetic and happy” said Saavedra who likes to dress in white.
He goes around the university on his white car which runs on electricity and can sit two passengers. The car has a cargo compartment to carry the paint gallon bottles around. “This car makes my live easier, because I can get from job to job faster” commented Saavedra.
Mr. Saavedra has two children the oldest is 33 years old and the youngest is 30. In addition, he has six grand children. Fruits like strawberries, watermelon, and melons are his favorite food. Some vegetables are also his favorite food. Saavedra’s favorite animal is deer.
